My family and I took a similar trip and it has forever changed my life. So much so that I recently authored a book about our adventure. It may be of interest to you and offer you a unique perspective on a situation familiar to us both.
It’s nice to see other families embarking on similar excursions. The experiences your children participate in now will stay with them forever.
Thank you so much for posting about your adventures for all to see and benefit from! I have just recently started researching what it would take for our family to travel the world, and although our situation may not be quite like yours (esp the budget part, we will hv to make it work on a much lower budget…Lol) it is so encouraging to read ab all of your success with kids and world travel. I’m still trying to get my husband on board to even consider it, but we still have some time before we wld be able to leave anyway. We have children ages 10 (in Aug.) 8, and 3…so we wld wait until the youngest is at least 5, I think.
Anyway, just thought I wld thank you for your site, since I have been telling others ab it and also getting my husband to laugh at the top quotes ( bug seasoning), annoying habits, and lice d
Oops, the last part got cut off: “and lice problems! It’s nice that you not only chose not to sugar-coat the trip, but also found humor in the obstacles!”
